We see by the papers that a Mrs. Wal ker, of Piekens, has made a deCed of 120 aceres of land lying in Pickens and An derson Counties for establishing thereon an agricultural college. The land is said to be level and beautifully situated and well adapted to experiments in agricul tura-l persuits. It lies Northeast of Pentdleton seven miles and East of Cen~ ~tral six miles. T~he trustees held a mneeting on the 9th inst., and took the Snecessary initiail steps towards the es -tablishment of the et:terprise.

Potter makes old Furnitur-e new,. Tracing a Bale of Cotton. This is the article that the Obserrer declined to let e's have la;t week. We (cmlense it to suit our time and space. La=t year while Capt. M. M. Buford was packing a bale of cotton he put a note in it re(u esting that the manufacturer into whose hands it fell would notify him of the fact. The bale was sold last April to Mr. W. T. Tarrant, who shipped it to Robert son. Tavlor & Co., of Charles ton. A week or two ago Capt. Buford received a l-tter from the Jack4on Con hany, Ilndiant Head }liil. N:ihua, N.

In our readings we have conie across an excellent piece that we copy for the benelit of our readers: Probably no thing tires one so much as feeling hur ried. When in the early morning the day's affairs press on one's attention be forehand, and there comes the wonder how in the world everything is to be accomplished, when every inter ruption is received impatiently, and the clock is watched in distress as its mo ments flit past, then the imind tires the body. We are wrong to drive ourselves with whip and spur in this way. Each of us is p)romised strength for the day, and we must not we.'r ourselves out by crowding two (days' task into one. If onily wve can keep cool and calm. not al lowing ourselves to be flustered, we -hall be less wearied when we have reached the eventide.

Editors:-I s:nv you did not p)ublish the last letter I se nt you, but it suited ine very wvell that it should not be published for a specil reas~on. I l:esitat'd about sending it and rither regrette(d it after I did send it. As I amif writing to you and my subscrip)tlin will be out November 22nd, I will t'ake this opportunity to request you to discon tinue sending it when the time expires. If I should wish it renewed I can wvrite to vou in time, but I see the Oserve is v'ery much commended as the best local county paper in the State, and a "opy of it was sent me this week for a special puripose, I expect to take that paper, seeing that it fully deserves the reputa tion it has gained. Respectfully. SIME ON PR ATT. P. S.-My subscription for the Vetes does not expire for about a montlh after the HERALrD, if I remember right, and you must do as you choose about send ing the double paper to me for that much longer or for half that time. S. P. The letter referred to by our highly 'steemedl correspondent was a lengthy description in hieroglyphic chirography, "if we remember right," of a pic nic in Mississippi. Leaving out the question of an editor's inalienable right to bring his waste-basket into use, we considered our space more valuable than to have it filled with the said matter-only this and nothing more. We do "do as we choose" in our "double paper." Al though our now more highly 'steemed correspondent says he is glad we dIdn't puiblish his letter, he shows that he is madl all the same-or, he has a curIous wa*y of expressing his joy-by ordering his paper stopped. We won't be tnean enough to retort that if another half year's subscription depends on such let ters as that under discussion, otir nIOW most highly 'steemed correspondeiit is welcome to the change. Oh, no, we won't even insinuate such a thing; for haven't we always given a place in our columns to "the writer," "S. P.,"' withi his invariable P. S.? But doesn't hie get away with us nicely, though? Such a ood joke. We have to laugh. Ha. ha, ha ! Ha. ha, ha ! We will tell it before any body else has a chiance. He saw by the HERALD AND NEWs that the New berry Obserrer was very much commend ed as the best local cotuty paper in the State,'' and lie would take that paper. Little did we know when casting that piece of bread upon the waters that it would return beftore many days. andl on Mississippi waters at that. Oh ! S. P., thou hast wounded the spirit that loved thee. But it won't be alwas thus. In the sweet by-and-bye, when thou art meditating along the banks of the ma jestic Mississippi, there will come a tlood of memories o'er thee, like the rushing of many waters, carrying thee back to thy sunny home, and, like Da vid of old, thou wilt sit thee down and weep, yea. thou wilt weep, when thou rememberest all these things. But, fare wvell !and if forever, still forever, fare thee-well. Byron.. MESSRS. EDITORS. P. S.--It may be for years and it may te forever. Ta, ta. M. E.

Eight ballot-boxes are to be voted at in seventeen counties in the State and nine boxes to be voted at in the remain ing seventeen counties at the general1 election on the 4th of next mnonth. N'ewberry Is one of the nine-box coun ties, the officers to be voted for being. Box I, Governor and Lieutenant-Gov ernor; Box 2, other State officers ; Box 3, Circuit Solicitor; Rox 4, State Sen ator ; Box 5, Members of the House of Representatives ; Box 6, County officers; Box 7, Representatives in Cong;ress; Box $', Presidential Electors; Box 9, Constitutional Amendments. Th a News and Courier says : It is of the greatest importance and should al ways be borne in mind that the vote for .t-resi dential electors is a general vote, and that the entire electoral ticket is to be voted by each voter without regard to the particular section of t he State or the Congressional district in which hec resides. In other words, the voter in the First Congresional District should vote not only for' the nominee for elector from the First Dis trict. but also for the elector from each of the other Congressional Districts in the Stats as well as for Fresidential electors from the State at largi. There shoud be DO mistake in this matter, for the fall emportance of the comin election in this State hinges upon the election of the full Democratic electoral ticket. A. E. Potter repairs Furniture. An Air-Line from the Mountains to the Sea. Col. J. S. Jordan, of Phoenlx, wrote 1 an article to the Charleston Kews and Courier on this contemplated new route. We quote a paragraph : That outlet is offered by a rail line from some point on the Charlotte and1 Greenwood Road between Greenwood and Newberry, to Augusta, and thence, by river or rail, to the sea. That line will be built. We can prevent it from draining the northwestern coulnties of 1 South Carolina into the lap of Georgia in but one way, and that one way is] practicable, easy and economical. It is to open a rail line from the northern most of these points through the heart (and county seat) of Edgefield to a point (say Aiken) on the South Carolina Rail way. Trhis will bring our entire north wvestern section, and of course the Northern and Western States as w"' , forty miles nearer to Charleston than it now is by any line within our State, and will make that practicable which other-) wise will be impossible, viz: that we] shall be tributary to our own queenly metropolis rather than to any other.
